What this job asks for AI summary
A mid-level systems engineering role supporting U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) by maintaining and enhancing Command and Control (C2) systems and Common Operational Picture (COP) tools used across global SOF missions. The position involves training end users, analyzing operational technology gaps, and participating in joint working groups — bridging operational requirements with fielded technology. Suited to candidates with a SOF or intelligence community background and an active TS/SCI clearance.
Mid level · 4+ years · Tampa, FL · TS/SCI clearance
We read this from the posting text with AI. Skim the description below before ruling yourself out.
Why we read it this way (8)
SOC classification is uncertain: this role blends operational domain expertise with systems engineering and user training, fitting no single SOC code cleanly. 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used as the best available fit; 15-1211 (Computer Systems Analysts) is a plausible alternative given the gap-analysis and requirements-bridging duties.
Location is inferred as Tampa, FL (USSOCOM HQ at MacDill AFB) — the posting does not explicitly state a work location.
The 4-year experience requirement appears twice in the posting: once for general technical experience and once specifically for operational experience (mission planning, navigation, C2 platforms). Both point to the same 4-year floor, so the overall years minimum is set to 4.
Skills in this posting are largely domain capabilities and military operational constructs (COP management, OAI management, CCIR, TADL) rather than discrete commercial software products. They are captured as named as possible given the posting's language.
The preferred qualifications section describes cross-domain proficiency across Operations, Intelligence, and Tactical Mission Planning — listed under 'Preferred Qualifications' and therefore treated as preferred rather than required.
An active TS clearance with SCI eligibility is explicitly stated as required.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Joint/SOF operational platforms, Intelligence warfighting function tools.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
